Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0449052A2] A parity checking scheme for a memory device includes address parity checking. Parity checking is conducted on the input, before data is stored. At least one portion of parity checking, e.g., address parity checking, has selectable odd/even polarity and can be selectably disabled. The address parity signal and data parity signal are combined into an overall parity signal. <IMAGE>
